In the UK it is thought that between 3 to 5% of school-aged children have a diagnosis of ADHD. With a surge in the number of people seeking a diagnosis in recent years, this figure looks set to increase.
Children with ADHD are more likely to be excluded, demonstrate lower rates of attendance, and leave school with poorer outcomes. Ensuring that teachers are equipped to provide; appropriate support, an ADHD friendly working environment and adapted teaching styles is crucial.
This conference has been designed for staff in schools, nurseries and colleges who are working with children with ADHD and want to improve on their current practice.
